5.8.3 Method 2: Manual Cloud Update over the Internet

Attention
If the Field Agent has a network path to the Internet, customers can choose to manually initiate an on-demand update of the
Field Agent over the Internet. This method is also valuable for diagnosing and verifying the connection between the Field
Agent and the Predix Cloud.

To manually initiate a cloud update over the Internet

1. Access the Field Agent Updater.
2. Under Cloud Update, the default
Update URL will contain the standard
location of Field Agent Update packages in
the Predix Cloud. If a network proxy
server is configured in the Network
Configuration but the Update URL is only
reachable by bypassing this proxy server,
then check Bypass Proxy Server.
3. Click the Test Connection button to
verify the Field Agent is capable of
reaching the Update URL using the
current network settings.
4. Under Manual Cloud Updates, click the Cloud Update Now button. A message displays to indicate that the update is in
progress. Wait while the update is retrieved, verified, and installed.
5. After the update completes, verify that the status label beneath the Cloud Update Now button has changed to indicate
that the update succeeded. Verify that the Current Field Agent Version and Last Successful Field Agent Update
labels at the top of the Field Agent Updater page have also updated. If required, the Field Agent will reboot itself after
an update. When this occurs, a timeout or error message may appear in the browser. The Predix Machine Web Console
must be logged into again after the Field Agent is rebooted.
Note On the MFA, the blue Cloud LED remains blinking and will only turn solid after Enrollment.
For public disclosure
Before setting up an Automatic Cloud Update schedule using Method 3 below, it is
recommended that this method be used to verify connectivity to the selected Update
URL and network proxy settings.
